| 3:1 | And the child <05288> Samuel <08050> ministered <08334> (8764) unto the LORD <03068> before <06440> Eli <05941>. And the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> was precious <03368> in those days <03117>; [there was] no open <06555> (8737) vision <02377>. |
| 3:2 | And it came to pass at that time <03117>, when Eli <05941> [was] laid down <07901> (8802) in his place <04725>, and his eyes <05869> began <02490> (8689) to wax dim <03544>, [that] he could <03201> (8799) not see <07200> (8800); |
| 3:3 | And ere the lamp <05216> of God <0430> went out <03518> (8799) in the temple <01964> of the LORD <03068>, where the ark <0727> of God <0430> [was], and Samuel <08050> was laid down <07901> (8802) [to sleep]; |
| 3:4 | That the LORD <03068> called <07121> (8799) Samuel <08050>: and he answered <0559> (8799), Here [am] I. |
| 3:5 | And he ran <07323> (8799) unto Eli <05941>, and said <0559> (8799), Here [am] I <02009>; for thou calledst <07121> (8804) me. And he said <0559> (8799), I called <07121> (8804) not; lie down <07901> (8798) again <07725> (8798). And he went <03212> (8799) and lay down <07901> (8799). |
| 3:6 | And the LORD <03068> called <07121> (8800) yet again <03254> (8686), Samuel <08050>. And Samuel <08050> arose <06965> (8799) and went <03212> (8799) to Eli <05941>, and said <0559> (8799), Here [am] I; for thou didst call <07121> (8804) me. And he answered <0559> (8799), I called <07121> (8804) not, my son <01121>; lie down <07901> (8798) again <07725> (8798). |
| 3:7 | Now Samuel <08050> did not yet <02962> know <03045> (8804) the LORD <03068>, neither was the word <01697> of the LORD <03068> yet revealed <01540> (8735) unto him. {Now...: or, Thus did Samuel before he knew the LORD, and before the word of the LORD was revealed unto him} |
| 3:8 | And the LORD <03068> called <07121> (8800) Samuel <08050> again <03254> (8686) the third time <07992>. And he arose <06965> (8799) and went <03212> (8799) to Eli <05941>, and said <0559> (8799), Here [am] I; for thou didst call <07121> (8804) me. And Eli <05941> perceived <0995> (8799) that the LORD <03068> had called <07121> (8802) the child <05288>. |
| 3:9 | Therefore Eli <05941> said <0559> (8799) unto Samuel <08050>, Go <03212> (8798), lie down <07901> (8798): and it shall be, if he call <07121> (8799) thee, that thou shalt say <0559> (8804), Speak <01696> (8761), LORD <03068>; for thy servant <05650> heareth <08085> (8802). So Samuel <08050> went <03212> (8799) and lay down <07901> (8799) in his place <04725>. |
| 3:10 | And the LORD <03068> came <0935> (8799), and stood <03320> (8691), and called <07121> (8799) as at other times <06471>, Samuel <08050>, Samuel <08050>. Then Samuel <08050> answered <0559> (8799), Speak <01696> (8761); for thy servant <05650> heareth <08085> (8802). |
| 3:11 | And the LORD <03068> said <0559> (8799) to Samuel <08050>, Behold, I will do <06213> (8802) a thing <01697> in Israel <03478>, at which both <08147> the ears <0241> of every one that heareth <08085> (8802) it shall tingle <06750> (8799). |
| 3:12 | In that day <03117> I will perform <06965> (8686) against Eli <05941> all [things] which I have spoken <01696> (8765) concerning <0413> his house <01004>: when I begin <02490> (8687), I will also make an end <03615> (8763). {when...: Heb. beginning and ending} |
| 3:13 | For I have told <05046> (8689) him that I will judge <08199> (8802) his house <01004> for <05704> ever <05769> for the iniquity <05771> which he knoweth <03045> (8804); because his sons <01121> made themselves vile <07043> (8764), and he restrained <03543> (8765) them not. {For I...: or, And I will tell him} {vile: or, accursed} {restrained...: Heb. frowned not upon them} |
| 3:14 | And therefore I have sworn <07650> (8738) unto the house <01004> of Eli <05941>, that the iniquity <05771> of Eli's <05941> house <01004> shall not be purged <03722> (8691) with sacrifice <02077> nor offering <04503> for <05704> ever <05769>. |
| 3:15 | And Samuel <08050> lay <07901> (8799) until the morning <01242>, and opened <06605> (8799) the doors <01817> of the house <01004> of the LORD <03068>. And Samuel <08050> feared <03372> (8804) to shew <05046> (8687) Eli <05941> the vision <04759>. |
| 3:16 | Then Eli <05941> called <07121> (8799) Samuel <08050>, and said <0559> (8799), Samuel <08050>, my son <01121>. And he answered <0559> (8799), Here [am] I. |
| 3:17 | And he said <0559> (8799), What [is] the thing <01697> that [the LORD] hath said <01696> (8765) unto thee? I pray thee hide <03582> (8762) [it] not from me: God <0430> do so <06213> (8799) to thee, and more also <03254> (8686), if thou hide <03582> (8762) [any] thing <01697> from me of all the things <01697> that he said <01696> (8765) unto thee. {more also: Heb. so add} {thing from: or, word from} |
| 3:18 | And Samuel <08050> told <05046> (8686) him every whit <01697>, and hid <03582> (8765) nothing from him. And he said <0559> (8799), It [is] the LORD <03068>: let him do <06213> (8799) what seemeth <05869> him good <02896>. {every...: Heb. all the things, or, words} |
| 3:19 | And Samuel <08050> grew <01431> (8799), and the LORD <03068> was with him, and did let none of his words <01697> fall <05307> (8689) to the ground <0776>. |
| 3:20 | And all Israel <03478> from Dan <01835> even to Beersheba <0884> knew <03045> (8799) that Samuel <08050> [was] established <0539> (8737) [to be] a prophet <05030> of the LORD <03068>. {established: or, faithful} |
| 3:21 | And the LORD <03068> appeared <07200> (8736) again <03254> (8686) in Shiloh <07887>: for the LORD <03068> revealed <01540> (8738) himself to Samuel <08050> in Shiloh <07887> by the word <01697> of the LORD <03068>. |
